Most of my life, I've had fairly severe depression. I've worked hard to get into a good place with my mental heath, but depression is the antithesis of productivity. My energy and willpower vary day-to-day, making it hard to form a routine outside of the bare essentials. Realistically I won't have the "perfect day" any time soon, but I'd be happy if I could just wake up at the same time, keep the house clean, and work towards improving. How can I try to be productive when I'm already at a disadvantage?
